Installing MySQL On Big Sur MacBook Pro

I downloaded MySQL, mysql-8.0.31-macos12-x86_64.dmg, and installed it. The two instances are appearing on System Preferences and are in running states. But there is no configuration file chosen.

However, there is one step that I failed to do. That last step of updating the .zshrc file (I cannot find the file) or adding some folder to the PATH.

When I try to access it in Terminal, I get the error:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Please help.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7

Using terminal - command not found: mysql I recently downloaded and started to learn mysql. Mysql Workbench works well and I am learning a lot. A lot of the Mysql documentation refers to CLI commands. When I try any of the mysql commands in terminal, I get the 'command not found: mysql' response. I can see 'mysql' at usr/local/mysql. I can also see 'mysql-8.0.27-macos11-x86_64' at the same location. How can I get terminal to respond to mysql commands as shown in Mysql documentation?
